Hell, we actually have a new generation of fans who think an 8 win season is just mediocre.

I know. But they say "the children are our future" and I frankly welcome that. Remember, our dads and grandads and Mizzou fans up through the 1960s and 1970s thought of the equivalents of 8 wins seasons in those eras as being just mediocre too. That's why we canned Al Onofrio in the 1970s, because we thought we were entitled to more than that, and based on what we'd done in the 1960s they were valid in thinking that. I personally (and it sounds like perhaps you too) just had the misfortune of coming of age during the Mizzou football equivalent of the Great Depression from 1984-1997, a horrid era of blight and despair that our generation has learned from, and needs to do everything in its power to make SURE that the next, younger generation never ever knows of or experiences anything of its like. I'd much rather have little Mizzou fans running around like Bama tykes, not a care in the world and not an emortional scar to be found in their sporting psyche.
